I
really enjoyed Murder I the City of Liberty, but
I was constantly aware of the fact that I would have understood the
characters and the plot better had I read Murder at the
Flamingo first. So of course
that is what I recommend doing. Even without that advantage, I was
quickly pulled into the lives of Regina (Reggie) Van Buren and Hamish
DeLuca, private investigators in 1940s Boston. Regina brings a
connection to high society, Hamish to the underworld through his
cousin Luca, and both to the minority community of the North End.
Sometimes these connections create complications more than they help
as Reggie and Hamish pursue their current case involving Minor League
Baseball, the building of tenements and the smuggling of munitions as
the world waits to see if the United States will join the second
great war.
I
was grateful to have received a complimentary copy of this book from
Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review
are completely my own.
